it's just speculation, IMO a more realistic MSRP would be $800 - $900 for the 2080

read the comments of that post lmao

good news thou....

motivation for not to upgrade...

You think so easy to make money from mining ah?

tbh, it really is pretty easy... as long you have bunch of moolah to buy the cards in the first place

Potential ROI in a year, faster than any business.

But certainly not something one should say bye bye to day job to do la, unless you have deep pockets already.

However if you are diligent in getting news and play with trading then you can make some good income.

yea i'd like to think of mining as side income rather than the main one. if you venture into trading maybe it's better to quit your job and fully focus on it too, but it's no longer easy money cause you'd have to work for it

True. Where to find any business ROI in 8-12 months.

Anyways the new 20xx series the pricing gila wan.

Games are getting boring and stupid, with crazy microtransaction and crappy singleplayer. I dont find any upcoming games to my liking. The only game I anticipate is Ace Combat 7, Metro Exodus and Serious Sam 4 and hoping at least one of them dont suck.

I pray people who mine with graphics cards have special place in hell for all the trouble it caused.

I might upgrade to the new GTX2k series for Three Kingdoms Total War and Metro, but you're right, otherwise it seems like there aren't many new releases scheduled that catch my eye.

Sorely lack the time to play games these days but hopefully will have some after April.

metro exodus is on my list too, I've been hyping for it when it showcased its trailer at E3 2017

not forgetting about MHW pc launch late 2018 too...I'll need a higher end gtx20xx for fluid 60fps in both 2017 and 2018 games now. my 1060 can't handle the stress.

Why is the price for the second hand gtx1070 still quite high de?
I saw new 1070 was like 2.3-2.4k at east malaysia, while some second hand 1070 was at 2.5k in garage sale?

Thinking of selling my two 1070s to prepare moolah for the 2070 or 2080, while holding on by downgrading to one of my 1060 3GBs, since all I ever play now is fortnite, where I can get 165fps even on 70% power target lol (lowered quality settings to remove shadow to make player spotting easier)

even 1080 also crying playing AAA nowadays....

uik ure back with da POWAH to ban..

nvidia/amd seems to be killin multigpu on sli/cfx but isnt one of the dx12 tech is on scaling with multigpu combi of any card gen or mixed it up with nvidia/amd??

and fark them if they bring in nvlink on gtx2xxx etc and charge usd 600 for da bridge ( thats what they charge for quadros)
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visuali...n/quadro-store/

definately gonna go gtx2080. its hard not to. based on da past ..if it performs 20-30% faster than a 1080ti at 150watts.. crazy not to change

600 dorra for a bridge the thing better be able to cook me dinner and wash my car hahaha!

MultiGPU for DX12 was indeed a highlight but I think the issue is that developers haven’t yet figured out how to optimise it for game use. Because implementing multiGPU across different cards requires a lot of creativity to divide loads (eg; cheapo intel GPU does basic rendering, the discrete graphics handles post processing). I don’t think any game will support that till 2019 or maybe even DX13.

Eh I no see stringfellow post here edi, he mampos edi ka?

cause miners, also from my experience, i could sell for higher prices outside of garage sales, so you might wanna consider that if you're planning on downgrading for now

back to his roots maybe.. console...

or the dude grew up and move on to better things likes most adults do.

I am waiting the crew 2😄😎best open world racing game ever😃😃

Haha finished forza 7

Going for next racing game liao

Haha he retired from tech i guess😅😅😂😂

isnt da crew now multi vehicle racing..boats, plane etc

Well, I wish him the best either way.

Hopefully after April I get more time for gaming as I quit my current job and took a 50 percent pay cut to spend more time at home and chilling.

Looking forward to some quality time at home chilling at my PC. 6+ years of FIFO OnG work have put a strain on me.

Also I just picked up Darkest Dungeon. For a game with not the best graphics, it's incredibly fun!


Possibly haha, I guess as time goes by our priorities change eh?
